UN: 3 killed in quake collapse in northern Haiti
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — A small earthquake struck northern Haiti early Sunday, collapsing an apartment building and killing at least three people, a U.N. spokesman said.
Residents said the tremor struck Haiti's second-largest city of Cap-Haitien shortly after midnight, collapsing the four-story building. Some nearby structures were damaged by the collapse but no other quake effects were reported.
Three survivors were pulled out of the rubble and taken to a hospital, U.N. spokesman Louicius Euguene said.
Haitian police, civil protection authorities and U.N. peacekeepers from Chile and Nepal found the body of another person killed inside.
Cap-Haitien lies along the fault line that produced three moderate earthquakes in nearby Cuba on Saturday. It was not affected by the Jan. 12 earthquake that devastated Port-au-Prince, some 80 miles (130 kilometers) to the south.
